How long does a reaction take? What symptoms do you get?
Thanks. I thinkI had a reaction, intense burning- not suring urination, just a general bladder/genital burn.
TIA:kiss:

Anywhere from 20 min to a half a day later my bladder burns and I have to pee every 20 min! I hate that!

Things that really bother me, I will notice within a half hour or so. I will be peeing every 20 minutes for a few hours. For me it was easy to identify a lot of things because long before I was ever diagnosed with IC I noticed an increase in the number of times I'd pee after eating/drinking certain foods.

Other times, I just notice I am peeing more or have that urgent feeling and I don't know why. I'm guessing it is because of something I ate the day before, maybe even longer ago. So I try to think back to what I may have eaten which is different. I usually stay away from Aspartame, but had something with it in it on Saturday night. Sunday morning I had a lot of urgency -- probably was the aspartame. It's the ones that don't show up right away which are trickier to track down.

Good luck.
